Working with a 3D map

Working with maps in an Android application

Example API use

This example demonstrates a basic map embedded in an Activity. Any application which displays a map must include the following:

Declaration of required Android permissions in AndroidManifest.xml
Initialization of the EegeoApi object with a WRLD API key
Creation of the MapView object, either in a layout or in code
Association of the MapView object with Activity lifecycle events

Full source code for all examples is available on GitHub.

import android.os.Bundle;

import com.eegeo.mapapi.EegeoApi;
import com.eegeo.mapapi.EegeoMap;
import com.eegeo.mapapi.MapView;
import com.eegeo.mapapi.map.OnMapReadyCallback;

public class BasicMapActivity extends WrldExampleActivity {

    private MapView m_mapView;

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        // Initialise the EegeoApi with your api key - this needs calling either in the application
        // instance, or in the activity that contains the MapView
        EegeoApi.init(this, getString(R.string.eegeo_api_key));

        // The MapView is contained in a layout xml
        setContentView(R.layout.basic_map_activity);

        m_mapView = (MapView) findViewById(R.id.basic_mapview);
        m_mapView.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        m_mapView.getMapAsync(new OnMapReadyCallback() {
            @Override
            public void onMapReady(final EegeoMap map) {
                Toast.makeText(BasicMapActivity.this, "Welcome to WRLD Maps", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
            }
        });
    }

    @Override
    protected void onResume() {
        super.onResume();
        m_mapView.onResume();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onPause() {
        super.onPause();
        m_mapView.onPause();
    }

    @Override
    protected void onDestroy() {
        super.onDestroy();
        m_mapView.onDestroy();
